Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)On April 12, 2026, I was using the parallel parking assist feature on my 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Limited AWD. I was parking on perfectly level ground with a parked vehicle behind the empty space I was attempting to enter. During the maneuver, the collision sensors activated, but the vehicle continued accelerating toward the parked car. I had to press the brake to stop the vehicle and avoid a collision. This created a safety concern because the system appeared to continue the maneuver despite the active collision warnings.
I am writing to report a serious safety concern regarding the “Consider Taking a Break” driver alert system in my new 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Limited, which currently has 515 miles. This notification is presenting itself in a way that I believe creates a distraction and potential hazard while driving. The alert appears frequently and without clear justification, even when I am fully alert and in control of the vehicle. Rather than enhancing safety, it draws unnecessary attention away from the road and contributes to driver frustration. From a safety standpoint, any system that interrupts driver focus—especially without accurate or consistent triggering criteria—can increase risk rather than reduce it. This is particularly concerning in real-world driving conditions where attention needs to remain uninterrupted. Due to this issue, I am seriously considering returning the vehicle, as I do not feel confident in a system that behaves unpredictably and may compromise safety. I strongly urge Hyundai to: - Investigate this behavior immediately - Issue a recall or software update to correct it - Provide owners with the ability to disable or customize this alert I have also included NHTSA on this email, as I believe this warrants broader review as a potential safety defect. Please advise on next steps and whether a fix is currently in development. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Sincerely, [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
